  Welcome to my blog.I decided to write about a problem that I've been dealing with for a long time now.Anxiety and Panic attacks.I'm sure alot of you are trying to deal with the same thing and thinking that its a hopeless battle.I'm right in the thick of dealing with Generalized Anxiety and Panic Disorder myself .I know its going to be a long road but I now believe that there is hope.I've been told for quite some time now that Medication is the only answer.I'm by no means saying thatmedication isn't helpful but,for me its not the way.I've been searching the Internet and asking my Doctor for natural ways of coping with my problem.

       I have found some very interesting options on the web, but I've yet to try any of them.As far asmydoctor is concerned.I'm to the point in my disorder that she believes that Medication is my only option.I don't believe that for a second.Thank God we have Meds but there has to be a better way.Popping a pill is not a magic bullet.It may help in the short term,but i believe that if the root of the problem is not dealt with and you just mask it with medication you'll never find the peace and relaxation that most of us with Anxiety and Panic Disorder are looking for.

  I have been looking on the web for information that would be helpful to me.and there is definitely lots of info out there.I'm not going to talk much right now about any particular website or what they offer,that would take all day,but i will give you a list of websites that i have come across that I believe to be of some interest.Some are courses and some are just informational.They are only suggestions and I have only visited these sites at this point,so you will have to make up your own mind as to how useful this information is.
  

Agoraphobia is my life For now

• I'm 36 years old and I've been suffering from a panic disorder called agoraphobia.

i spend most of the time trying to keep the panic attacks at bay,but its much easier to

try than to actually make much progress.

the meds are the worst,but I'm sure that for most people if they didn't have medication

they would never get over their problems.I'm hoping ,for me things will be different.

for now I'm trying to go it on my own.i have no support,no friends,no family,at least none that understand what its like to be in my shoes.I'm glad that none of my friends or family have to endure the hell that i live with almost every day.

i also have a son,he's 10 years old,and doesn't totally understand why dad is unable to go places and do things with him.hopefully that will change for me and him before he gets to old to care.

my son says that if he had a wish that would come true ,it would be that he could have a monster truck lol,and for me to be able to go to the park or to his school.

if only things were that simple.I've wished for that a thousand times,maybe more.i do believe though that someday very soon i will be able to get threw this thing.
